Hello Thank you to enter the path this one? C:\Users\Sergey\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xkcoodrm.default\cache2

No, if you want to use the default path, you should delete the old preference.

If you want to use your own path, I don't think it's a good idea to put it under the default cache2 folder, that may confuse Firefox.

Hi Avatar, there is an optional hidden setting that allowing moving the cache folder separately from the rest of the profile folders. Could you check this setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste E:\!XProgram\Firefox Cache\ and pause while the list is filtered -- you're looking to see whether you've set up a

browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

preference pointing to

E:\!XProgram\Firefox Cache\

If Firefox 71 shows a bar with Boolean Number String and a + button, then the preference is not set up. To create it, click String and then the + button, and then you'll be able to enter the path.

Note: Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox generally does not remove your profile folder containing such settings. More info on the profile folder:
